The colder it gets outside, the more time we spend inside dreaming of an incredible tropical getaway. In anticipation of an upcoming luxury honeymoon, a girls' beach trip or family fun in the sun, we asked Brides' travel editor Jacquline Gifford to offer up some tips on how to prepare for the beach. Here, 9 ways to ready yourself from head to toe!

1. Whittle down your packing list.
For daytime, you'll need a couple of cute bikinis, two shorts, three nice T-shirts, a great cover-up (stylish enough to wear to lunch), and flip-flops. For evening, you'll want two nice dresses, a cute clutch, and stylish sandals. That's it! Don't be afraid to repeat outfits, beach vacations are generally low-key.

All that (plus toiletries and pj's) can easily fit into a standard carry-on suitcase. I love being able to get off a plane and go right to my hotel, change into my suit, and hit the beach. Avoid the temptation of over-packing, and you'll save money and

• De-puff while you sleep Banishing puffy eyes overnight is as easy as changing the way you sleep. "Elevating your head with pillows while sleeping helps the fluids from gathering around the under-eye area," says celebrity makeup artist Tina Turnbow. Got a few cents to spare? "Cucumbers and cold chamomile tea bags are great, too," she adds.
• Posture, please Standing tall can have long-term benefits. "My mother-in-law is 93 years old and has amazing posture," says dermatologist Dr. Kathy Fields, co-creator of Proactiv skin care. "She looks at least 20 to 30 years younger because of it! It's the

BellaSugarSource: Facial Oil Is Actually Good For Oily Skin - Yes, It's True!

If you have oily skin, the last thing you want to put on your face is more oil, right? Think again. Using the right oils can actually help moisturize acne-prone skin and balance your sebum production. "Plant and nut oils are ideal for moisturizing an oily skin type," explains Annet King, director of global education for Dermalogica. "Essential oils from plants, roots, and flowers also have the added benefits of calming and soothing skin, while maintaining antibacterial and aromatherapy properties." In turn, botanically derived oils help to replenish barrier lipids that get stripped away during the Winter. And because they're lighter in texture, these antioxidant-packed types of oils won't clog follicles. See more tips on using facial oils on oily skin when you read more.

Cleansing is also an important part of any skin care routine, particularly for acne-prone types. While most breakout sufferers want to use

BellaSugarSource: Never Forget to Wash Your Face Before Bed Again

Admit it: sometimes you roll over in bed without removing your makeup (oops!). It happens to the best of us. But in 2013, resolve to wash your face every night to have healthier, clearer skin. Get a few simple tricks to make remembering easy when you read on.

1. Make it accessible: Cleansing doesn't always have to be at the sink. Keep products in multiple locations so it always fits in your busy schedule. Place a liquid wash in the shower, so it's easy to wash your face when you're already scrubbing down. If you have the tendency to fall asleep before cleansing, try packing makeup removing wipes in your nightstand for a quick fix.
2. Make it simple: Are you using a makeup remover followed by a face wash? Shorten the process with a double-duty product. Cleansing oils like Vapour Organic Beauty Clarity Cleansing Oil ($28) melt makeup (even waterproof formulas) while leaving your face free of dirt, too. You can also reach for a

Clear mascara is one of those makeup products you might not use all that often, but it offers a little bit of something for everyone. At its basic level, clear mascara defines and separates the lashes, adding volume, the illusion of length, and a touch of brightening sparkle to the eyes. It also works to moisturize and condition eyelashes. But did you know that there are other ways you can utilize this multitasking wonder? It will all be crystal clear when you read more.

Source: What We're Sweet On: A Lip Balm For Ski Bunnies

Lip balm may be the most-used beauty product during the Winter months, as dry, chapped, peeling, flaky (and even bleeding) lips are a trademark of the season. Enter Rodial Glam Balm Lip ($25), which will protect your mouth from whipping winds, plummeting temperatures, and then some. You might ask, though, why you would spend extra money on this particular lip product when others can be easily procured at the local grocery store for practically pennies.

Usually it requires multiple, strategically placed products to keep lips supple (one at work, one in every handbag, another on the vanity). But the creamy consistency of this glam balm will break your dependence on other greasy sticks and pots. Rose wax and shea butter gets under the cracks for a smoothed-out appearance, and vitamin E provides long-lasting moisture. Plus, the high-shine finish eliminates the need for gloss. Ski bunnies and slope enthusiasts everywhere will

We happen to think Kate Bosworth's different colored eyes are pretty striking. If you thought gruesome sounding cosmetic procedures like butt injections and leech detoxes were bad, a story in the New York Times today will make you cringe. The article explores the underground market for iris implants, which can be used to change eye color for cosmetic reasons, but aren't approved for use in most countries since ophthalmologists generally consider the implants a terrible idea. A woman born with two different colored eyes, a condition called heterochromia, paid $7,000 to have the surgery performed in Panama. Two years after the procedure, her vision started to get "spotty" and she had to have the implants removed, though her vision didn't completely return to normal. One doctor is now working to try to ban the surgery.

From our perspective, we can't figure out why someone would want to change their eye color in the first place, especially if they had a feature that made them resemble Kate Bosworth. Blue, brown, green, hazel - any
